In my book a lack of a car is a positive like the lack of broadcast television in your home.

I've never wanted a car.

I've sometimes wished I was able to learn to drive so I could hire one once in a while but ownership of a car is a millstone, a money vampire and an environmental pollutant.

Yes, but public transportation in the USA sucks.

My fifteen minute commute to work by car takes over two hours by public transportation (bus).

We have bus systems in the Detroit area, but I've never used them.

There's an interesting experiment for you.

Plan a journey in the Detroit area and take the bus.

Calculate the time and the price and balance it against the average price of a car (tax, parking, fuel etc).

Next time you meet a fancy pants car owning internet date you can relate the findings of your experiment to her.

This is Detroit, I'd get killed just stepping into the city.

If you have cities like that perhaps you should get on a train/boat/plane and emigrate.

Dude, I lived there. Detroit is a big talking city, and sure it has its fair share of crime, but it isn't really the way people make it out to be (at least not anymore). I lived in a fairly poor part of the city because it was right next to where I worked, I stayed out and came home all hours of the night. It's safe enough.

The people who live in the suburbs are scared shitless of that place. It is kind of funny.

Maybe he looks a lot like Che Guevara.

I was joking.

Insomnia blows...

Don't let Xhonzi hear you say that, he really likes that film.

WRONG MOVIE!!!

She fucking loved me tonight, I bought her coffee and ice cream. She laughed at all my jokes, I gave her a hug at the end of the night(I hug on the first date). I never knew I was so smooth.

Woooo! Way to go Sean.

Don't get pregnant Sean.

Congratulations, Sean!

With that being said, I have to ask: Is "[hugging] on the first date" controversial?

No, I just think a kiss should wait until the second date. I'm debating on what we should do, I don't have much money, so watching a movie at home wouldn't be a bad idea.

Oops.

If I could retcon the last thirteen years and two months, I would.

ditto for me for the past 20 years.

Carpe diem.

Don't let yourselves be saying the same thing the next thirteen years and two months/twenty years.

I consider the last 39 years canon.

I just took my first pole dancing class.

I kind of wish I had done something better with college in between 18 and 23, I'd also wish I would have been less socially awkward then too since I am only now starting to date.
